First of all: Thanks!

Second: at http://www.webometrics.info/
it is written:
"
We have discovered several universities that are hosting large 
numbers of academic papers authored by scientist that do not 
belong to those institutions. This is not only unfair, but it 
clearly violates copyright of the involved papers.
"
Please be aware that this is not necessarily so: Such papers
may be hosted where they are hosted because
-   The author of that paper wished then paper to be 
    hosted at the hosting institution and the hosting
    institution acted on his wish.
-   The license (CC or other) of the paper permits such
    hosting and the archive in question is an archive
    for a certain subject.
-   The author once was a member of the hosting institution.

   Best regards
